Phantasy Star 1st Series Complete Album

Compil. JP 2008 on Wave Master Entertainment label
Electronic and Soundtrack (Chiptune)

Four disc collection containing the scores for the first four games in Sega's Phantasy Star series of role-playing games. The first four games (2D in nature) are all connected story-line wise, with IV mostly ending the story before the series was reborn with the "online" moniker. The track titles above are copied from the booklet (track titles are in English; not a translation) and this includes the misspellings. It is unknown if the misspellings on tracks 2-08, 2-30, 4-20 and 4-23 are intentional, but 2-41 is most definitely a typo of the title for track 2-19. Tracks 2-07 and 2-29 is likely "Bracky News" - l and r sounds are supposedly interchangeable in Japanese and "Bracky" is a word that's used in the English rendition of the game. The difference between the Japan and Overseas version of Phantasy Star II is the Japanese version has louder drums. The drums were scaled back dramatically in the Overseas version, but the remaining instruments in the tracks are *mostly* the same. Additionally, note that the track titles for the Japan and Overseas versions of Phantasy Star II differ a bit. The Japanese titles are a bit longer and descriptive, while the titles on the Overseas version are a little more concise. The titles are taken from the game itself from the sound test, the window of which can only express so many characters which probably led to the shorter titles in the overseas version. Note the track 4-06 is combination of two tracks, the game's random encounter battle theme and the winning fanfare. The battle theme fades out before the fanfare concludes the track.
